Application filed January '7, 1892. Serial No. 417,267. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARY J. FoRsHEw, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Nursery-Bag, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements in nursery-bags; and the object of myinvention is to produce a simple and convenient bag having, preferably, a non-conducting lining, and adapted to keep various articles, and especially babies food, warm fora considerable time without the use of fire.

To this end my invention consists in a nursery-bag the construction of which will be hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar figures of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the views.

Figure l is a central vertical section of the invention on the line l l in Fig. 2, and Fig. 2 is a sectional plan on the line 2 2 in Fig. l.

rlhe bag l0 is preferably provided with a flat base 10", on which it may stand, and it is provided with an outer and inner wall l1 and 12, between which is a wadding 13, preferably of some poor conductor of heat, such as asbestus. The bag has a large mouth, so that it may be thrown Wide open, and this mouth has a loop 10b around it adapted to receive a puckering-string 10, so that the mouth may be drawn up tightly when desired or thrown open, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. l.

Arranged around and secured to the inner wall 12 of the bag are loose vertical partitions 14., preferably of fabric, which partitions form pockets l5, adaptedf to receive bottles 16,'containing milk or other material, and within these pockets is a main pocket 17, in which a `large bottle 18, iilled with hot water, may be It will be understood that any desired nurnber of pockets may be provided within the bag, although three pockets around the main inner opening is a convenient number, and while the pockets are especially adapted to contain bottles of milk other substances may be inserted, if desired. By placing the large bottle filled with hot water and then placing the smaller bottles in the pockets, as described, and finally closing the mouth of the bag the material in the bottles will be kept warm for a long time and may be easily kept warm during the night.

Having thus fully described my invention,

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. As an improved article of manufacture, a nursery-bag having a main central pocket and pockets arranged around it, substantially as described.

2, A nursery-bag having double walls with a suitable filling between them, a central main pocket, and a plurality of pockets arranged around it and within the inner wall of the bag, substantially as described.

3. A nursery-bag comprising a rigid bottom, iiexible sides having a stuffing of nonconducting substance, a puckering-string arranged at one end to close the bag, a central inside pocket to hold a heating-vessel, and a plurality of pockets arranged around the central pocket, substantially as described.

4. A nursery-bag having a fiat base, double side walls with filling between them, a main `cen tral pocket, a plurality of pockets disposed around the main pocket, and an end closure,
